I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Epic in Mar 2020
Interview
The phone screening was about 30 minutes and pretty standard. The online exams were challenging, but I had read up on them and knew what to expect with the proctor. I also did a technical writing assessment that was pretty easy and fun.
The final interview was over Zoom and not in person due to COVID-19. It began with a long-ish presentation about the company and the city of Madison. It felt like they were trying to sell me on the company which I didn't mind except that the day of interviews was already really long. I got to speak to four people over the course of the 2-3 hour interview, and during the end part of the interview, I was told that I was being considered for a Technical Writing position and a Technical Solutions Engineer position because of how well I did on my assessments. They said they'd get back to me in a week with their decision. In two weeks, I finally got a phone call saying they decided to go with someone else which was very disappointing and frustrating after getting so far in the process and being considered for two different roles. Overall, though, the process was pretty good.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Epic
Interview
Delivery of writing samples, an initial, brief intro interview with HR, followed by two true interviews with different stakeholders. They sent lots of materials before the second interview with premade videos about the campus and benefits.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in June 2020
Interview
I had a phone interview about the position and the company as a whole and then performed an online assessment. The phone interview was very helpful and informative, but the assessment felt wholly unrelated to the position as it was described to me.
